George Fox used at one time to attend public worship in the established church, but when the preacher uttered sentiments he could not agree with, he would most solemnIy put on his broad .brimmed hat, and only take it of when a welcome strain of doctrine recurred If he had sat with his hat on for-very long, and the sermon was still distastefnl to him, he would slow. ly rise and silently walk out. It was orig lnaIly for purposes of habitual protest that Friends sat in places of worship with then hats on. From tlIe rise of Quaktrism there has always been a dislike to display oH show in dress. = ". --.

about 100 men at work on the docks which

be paid at the company's office in Weehawken at
the usual hour. II is feared that trouble will
occur II the company does not yield to the de-
mand.
At Hoboken the Delaware, Lackawanna and

st. Louis Tobacco Workers Strike.
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY KNIGHTS GO OUT WITHOUT
PREVIOUS NOTICE.


ST. Louis, Jan. 1S.-On Saturday last when John
E. Liggette, president OF the Liggette & Myers
Tobacco company, learned OF the strike at Loril-
lard's, In Jersey City, he remarked: ''Whenever
there is one strike OF this kind you VIII be sure to
hear OF one or two following it," Yesterday Mr..
L1ggettes predictions We're partially fulfilled
when about $50 hands, all OF them knights of
Labor, in the wrapping and machine depart
ments struck work. The firm had received no in
tfmat1On that their employees had any complaint
against them and could therefore assign no cause
for the strike. The employees, however, stated
that district assembly, No. II, knights of Labor,
had formulated charges against the company,
and later in the day committee from the district
waited upon Mr.. Myers to talk over the matter
with him and attempt to reach settle
ment OF the difficulty. Mr.. Myers, however, re-
fused to treat with any labor organization or to
re-emplay any OF the strikers except those who
had been inundated into stopping work. The
strikers say that non-union men are being sub
stttuted for Knights OF Labor; that men are being
discharged to make place for girls at lower wages
and that the company contemplate a wholesale
reduction in wages ranging from 25 to IS per cent.
Ado II LOO hands are employed in refractory,
and 1t Is expected that unless some agreement is
soon arrived at between the company and the
strikers the whole force will be called out by the
Knights.
